quarterly) has very complete and valuable bibliographies. In the Revue bénédictine (Maredsous) P. de Meester is writing a series of articles on Orthodox theology.
Of Greek papers I have used the Ἐκκλησιαστικὴ ἀλήθεια, the official organ of the Œcumenical Patriarchate, and the Νέα ἡμέρα of Trieste, which is certainly the best Orthodox paper, also the Ἄστυ of Athens, which is respectable, and the Νέον ἄστυ, which is not. They are chiefly interesting because of their violent attacks on the Bulgars.
Pisani: À travers l'Orient (Paris, Bloud); pp. xi seq. contain a bibliography.
For the political situation in the Balkans see H. Brailsford: Macedonia (Methuen, 1906). Mr. Brailsford was a member of the Macedonian Relief Committee during the winter of 1903–4. His book is admirably temperate in tone, and he writes of the things he himself saw. Only in questions of theology is he not at home. His remark about the Bulgarian Uniates (p. 73) and his advice to Protestant missioners to get ordained in the Orthodox Church to make their work easier (p. 74) are amusing. But his indictment against the Patriarchist party in Macedonia is absolutely crushing.
H. Gelzer: Geistliches u. Weltliches aus dem Türkisch-griechischen Orient, and Vom heiligen Berge und aus Makedonien (Leipzig, Teubner, 1900 and 1904) are charming descriptions of the travels of an always sympathetic scholar. J. F. Fraser: Pictures from the Balkans (Cassell, 1906) has interesting pictures. D. Brancoff: La Macédoine et sa population chrétienne (Paris, Plon, 1905) gives tables of statistics and maps, which look very bad for the Greeks. C. Bojan: Les Bulgares et le patriarche œcuménique, ou comment le patriarche traite les Bulgares (Paris, Librairie gén. de droit, 1905) contains appalling accusations against the Phanar and its bishops. N. Milasch (Orth. Bp. of Zara): Das Kirchenrecht der Morgenländischen Kirche (ii ed., Mostar, 1905).
For the rights and the court of the Œcumenical Patriarch see, besides Silbernagl, Kattenbusch, and Kyriakos (op. cit.), Γενικοὶ κανονισμοὶ περὶ διευθετήσεως τῶν ἐκκλ. κ. ἐθν. πραγμάτων τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οἰκουμενικὸν θρόνον διατελοῦντων ὀρθοδόξων χριστιανῶν,
